Few thoughts and links from the past few days (July 25 –27)

Remote IT support tool hijacks customer web server:

Couple of things I noticed Team viewer (or any remote support tool vendor) shouldn't be doing

a) Monitor http requests without specific disclosure of the details of the feature.

b) Start a web server and show an advertisement without providing any additional/alternate information about the main site being down (I would appreciate if they show a custom message maybe with ad's)

c) Not providing the workaround solution on receipt of the incident.

Exchange 2010 Archiving:

Microsoft Exchange 2010 has enhanced archival features that may reduce .pst management complexities; also Multi Mailbox Search & Legal Hold appear to be interesting features.

A potential downside i can think of is management of the secondary mailbox quota.

I found these points very important for any leader to ask himself…:

When a meeting feels flat and perfunctory, what’s going on? What’s on people minds that they are not saying?

What’s possible now that was not possible last year/month?

Of course others are also valid; see the source article : Ten questions every leader ought to be asking

I thought pickpocket's were low-tech criminals till i read this:
